Becoming Naomi Leon

I just finished Becoming Naomi León by Pam Muñoz Ryan. It was a one day / two sitting read for me, meaning that it was good enough that I wanted to keep reading and not stop. I don't suppose I would consider it an all time classic, but it definitely has a good heart, good characters and a good, but realistic ending. And it introduces aspects of Mexican culture in positive, but again realistic ways. This is a good book to put into the hands of upper elementary kids.
